The Appalachian Trail runs very near - about three miles, or so. Click on the image and scroll over to the right, then look beyond the utility pole in the distance and you will notice the gap through which the Furnace Creek flows. At that point, the Appalachian Trail turns north for a short distance while the Valley Rim Trail climbs the ridge on the right in an easterly direction to Pulpit Rock and the Pinnacle where the Pinnacle Trail follows the more distant ridge you can see back to the west to rejoin the the Appalachian Trail. The Furnace Creek which begins in that valley between the Valley Rim and Pinnacle Trails is the source of the name of Furnace Stream Farms which is the name under which my friends here in Pennsylvania operate their dairy farm and excavating business.
